Jumping contest...the phrase cracks me up. Hilarious.

Lou like in Luigi’s? What does Jeff Hecht receive for the accomplishment? “Big Lou’s proudly acknowledges the voice over for the announcement is provided by Clay Young”. The candidate for the Versatile Tractor award needs to be Darvin Adams who not only was a reliable receiver but demonstrated that he could complete to his third read. He was “Versatile, tractors when you need ‘em.”

I like it. Hmm, who would sponsor such an award? Ha!

Thats what he said yup. In the same segment Irving also commented on another MBB topic, factors that affect attendance. Play of the team, opponent and weather.

Are you suggesting a thread topic after games such “yes, thank you for taking my call, I’d like to send a big bouquet out to the Bombers for 3 dollar hot dog night” and “I’d like to send a beef to the marketing department because some neighbourhood flags have the wrong streets on them.”? The rose bouquet reference is good though.

See ya’ll at de game

Blue and gold fans, Damn stadium out by the university.

Would wonder how Chamblin feels about himself today.

Yet, some of the Argo players played like they gave a damn.

Was it against Ottawa two weeks ago that he bust his finger? Is a two week old broken finger considered “healthy” for a receiver? I dunno.

Great scrum.

What a hit...awesome.

Care for a hoot?

The offer of free land on University land is compelling. Not a new concept. Free land to Eastern Europeans is how Western Canada was developed. Coughing up 50 mil in lieu of fed money, and coughing up millions for any other location would make anyone think twice. The politics and funding of the construction was a lot of work. Creative even. Glad the city pulled it off. Location is what it is. The building is gorgeous. Inevitably we grow into the location.

Precisely.

Most bomber fans would know most of this story. IG Field was built through Asper and others lobbying the federal government for assistance through the infrastructure program. The infrastructure program was to help public initiatives by Universities. The stadium was only given approval because it was on the free land at the U of M and it’s use was for the school. 50 million dollars were provided by the feds with the free land making it affordable. We know the budget was to be 150 million dollars. No way would that stadium come in at under 150 without the two key components. It’s a bargain. The newly opened, at that time, MTS Center was a jewel for the citizens. It contributed to reviving a downtown area. Happy populous. With the success of the MTS Center, a lot of peggers wanted to further invigorate the downtown area with a brand spanking new football venue. Locations were discussed. Transportation and parking would not have been a problem as more people work downtown than what a stadium would hold. This pricier option was ideal. I find people that are dissatisfied with the current location prefer the downtown option. That’s were many people work, and would not be dissimilar to a jet game with the downtown pregame excitement that is generated. I would suggest the dissatisfaction is as a result of what could have been when the opportunity was there for the whole package. Yet they still understand the economics. Our stadium, as Bob Irving recently wrote, is the jewel of the CFL. Many cities have stadiums out in hell’s half acre. Peggers just aren’t use to seeing the city grow in this manner.

Oh geez tracker, I almost left the comment up here. By golly, I’m bilingual, English and Vulgarian.

Typically It’s a degree of standard deviation used in process control reporting during manufacturing to reduce variation and waste. The less the deviation, the tighter the result of the product. A lay persons explanation. I’d suspect Eternal Optimist is an engineer or Quality fella in the aerospace industry or Duha Group as they are large employers in the city that utilize Six Sigma.

Lol, Cactus, Stew and Ray. CJAY’s alternate office at The Paddock.

I better get on this cord cutting bandwagon.

Point 7. R^2 value = .0872 is objective proof you win the argument.

That would be a best practise and wise thing to do.
